Two Baylor Bears named as Preseason All-Americans by Phil Steele

Football guru Phil Steele released his Preseason All-American teams today and two Baylor Bears made the cut.

Offensive lineman Cyril Richardson was named to the First Team while running back Lache Seastrunk was given Third Team honors. You'd have to figure that one of the top offensive teams in the nation would have a receiver on the team, but Tevin Reese didn't get the nod.

Richardson was one of two offensive guards chosen, with the other being Stanford's David Yankey. Only one other Big 12 member was chosen on the First Team in Kansas State's B.J. Finney at center.

Meanwhile, Seastrunk was the lone Big 12 member on the Third Team. Not surprisingly, none of the Baylor defensive players were named on the defensive side of the ball.
